I have Results page that contains an signup form. I'm trying to use client-side validation on the email model, but I can't because the model type is different than the type I'm posting.
class Results
{
... // some results data to display
}
class EmailSignup
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your email.")]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
[RegularExpression(@"^(([A-Za-z0-9]+_+)|([A-Za-z0-9]+\-+)|([A-Za-z0-9]+\.+)|([A-Za-z0-9]+\++))*[A-Za-z0-9]+@((\w+\-+)|(\w+\.))*\w{1,63}\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$", ErrorMessage = "Please enter a valid email address.")]
public virtual string Email { get; set; }
}
Results.cshtml
@model MyApp.Results
[display results]
...
@using (Html.BeginForm("SubmitEmail", "AnalysisResults", FormMethod.Post))
{
<fieldset>
@Html.TextBoxFor( model => model.???? )
</fieldset>
}
The type I want the user to submit is EmailSignup, not Results.
